1. Just remember...the light brigade was wiped out
Somehow, I think that big oil will mount a stiff resistance (lower fuel prices) to destroy these cars. I hope I'm wrong, but there is so little positive info in the MSM that people's perception is still of practical electric cars in the distant future (I'm talking cars that can be driven many hundreds of miles on a single charge as can be done on a tank of gas).
